LAHORE: Punjab Food Authority (PFA) has seized several kilograms ‘meat of dead pigs’ being supplied to provincial capital from Rawalpindi.
The PFA officials, on a tip-off, conducted a raid at Lahore Railway Station and arrested a suspect, while transporting pig meat to Lahore and adjoining areas and seized the drums full of pig meat.
PFA Director Operations Ayesha Mumtaz, talking to media, revealed that the meat was being supplied to Lahore for preparation of food in restaurants and local hotels.
The arrested accused told reporters he was taking the meat to a factory in Sheikhupura where he believed they used it to produce some kind of chemical and poultry feed.
However, Ayesha said that she will be able to say something with authenticity after the completion of inquiry and DNA tests of the meat as samples of the meat have been sent to laboratory for tests.
